If that was all that was involved then you might have a point. But it isn't, so you don't.

And how many people is that exactly? Probably not more than a dozen I suspect. Which is hardly indicative of anything really.

Yes, and forums such as this are mostly populated by a self-selecting bunch of people who are affected by something called negativity bias.

Put simply, people will join forums to complain more than they will to praise.
